Vision. Reflection. Perfection.

Snapshot Africa was started by John Richard Nott, an avid photographer with a love for the bush and a heart for Africa. He has worked and traveled in places all over Africa, amongst his favourite was his time in the Okavango Swamps – it was an opportunity to capture a flawless moment in time!  

John has spent time in Botswana and Namibia. He could write a book with the experiences he has had in each of these countries. And this is why he decided to start Snapshot Africa, to share but a glimpse of the beauty that Africa has to offer.  Beside the wild life, the hustle and bustle of the city, Snapshot Africa hopes to share the reality of what it is like to live in Africa from day-to-day.

As a game ranger co-workers refer to him as Johnnie Walker, not because of the brand Johnnie Walker, because he loves to WALK in the bush.  When we asked John to summarize his experiences, this is what he had to say:

" From a young age I spent a lot of time in the bush enjoying the environment with my father, and this naturally led me to develop an interest in wildlife. I pursued a career as a field guide completing my qualifications in the North-west province of South Africa.  I then started out working at a small lodge in the Okovango delta in Botswana to gain experience.  After spending some time there I moved back to South Africa where I guided in the Madikwe and Manyeleti game reserve.

During my time in Madikwe and Manyeleti I gained extensive experience around dangerous game and the big five, along with great general game sightings. My passions for photography has grown over the years and I am always on the lookout for that perfect photo, in an attempt to capture a glimpse of what I experience."
